Executives at Amazon, including founder Jeff Bezos, may have misled or lied to Congress about the firm's business practices, top US lawmakers have said.

Anyone think an actual consequence will come of this? Something more than a slap on the wrist fine to give the public an illusion of justice that Amazon will overpay like Facebook. Bezos buys a few seats at a couple of their fundraisers. Maybe he actually shows up at one or two. You just don’t mess with someone who can toss 8-9 figures into your political opponent’s warchest like nothing.

I do still have prime and occasionally shop on Amazon and enjoy a few of their originals. Bezos innovated and modernized online shopping and he should be filthy rich. But he needs to be checked and pay his fair share

People get in trouble for lying to Congress about as often as Congress gets in trouble for lying to us. Which is to say never.
